Washington Becomes 1st State to Approve Net-Neutrality Rules

Washington Becomes 1st State to Approve Net-Neutrality Rules

Washington has become the first stateto enact its own net-neutrality requirements after U.S. regulators repealed Obama-era rules designed to keep the internet an even playing field.

The new law also requires internet providers to disclose information about their management practices, performance and commercial terms. Violations would be enforceable under the state’s Consumer Protection Act.
